Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

I had some ideas for some new pics late last night, so I whipped them up, sent them

out to The Arc, and got them back today (thanks again). Here's the first of today's

batch -- Golden Eagle, team leader of Raptor Force:

The last two pics in this batch are of a pair of detectives who might be considered the

Champions Universe's version of Holmes and Watson -- that is, if the bad guys or the

general public aside from a small handful of law-enforcement personnel knew that that

was what they were. Presented for your review -- Hieronymous Blackthorne and

Joyce Watkins, M.D.:

Hieronymous -- the older cousin of F.B.I. Special Agent Romulus "Wolf" Blackthorne -- is,

like Sherlock Holmes, self-taught in numerous disciplines, and has the intellect to make

full use of that knowledge. He can discuss the literary achievements of the past and pre-

sent as equally well as he can the most recent technological advances -- or the most like-

ly future developments of said technology. His true passion, however, lies in applying his

intellect to the purpose of solving crimes that tend to baffle the authorities. Dr. Watkins,

while she doesn't have the same level of intellect as Hieronymous, is nevertheless a high-

ly intelligent woman in her own right (the medical establishment has never been in the

habit of awarding licenses to practice medicine to complete and bumbling idiots).

 

A general practicioner by profession, Dr. Watkins is also an expert in the fields of pharma-

cology and toxicology, both of which have applications in the investigative field. Recently,

at Hieronymus' suggestion, she has taken up the study of forensic science as it applies to

the medical profession, as well as that of criminology. Even without a formal background

in either of these fields, she has made discoveries in some of their past cases which con-

tributed to their solution.

 

Normally, Hieronymous works alone, hiring himself out as a consultant for non-criminal

cases (and making a good deal of money in the process); it's only when the authorities --

Federal or local -- need his assistance that he enlists Dr. Watkins' aid. Their only require-

ment during such cases is that their involvement be kept absolutely secret; Hieronymous'

stated belief is that, if the perpetrators of a crime don't know that someone like him has

been brought into a case to aid in their apprehension, then they can't take the necessary

steps to thwart his efforts. For her part, Dr. Watkins has absolutely no problem with that

condition, as she has no real desire to dodge bullets (or whatever the bad guys might

decide to throw at them). Whenever such a case does come their way, they lend their

assistance free of charge.

 

Hieronymous does have one character trait that some consider slightly...eccentric: he tends

to dress in fashions that can best be described as the 21st Century's version of Victorian-age

mens' attire; he can often be found at re-enactments of 19th-Century events or at costume

parties in period dress.

The consort of the Shadow Emperor, the Dark Queen:

She's the one who usually handles whatever needs to be done on Earth where the

Shadow Emperor's plans are concerned -- provided, of course, that she's not other-

wise occupied elsewhere (for example, having to deal with the Regulators' inter-

ference with their plans back in their native dimension).
